After y/n and All Might returned to the surveillance room, it was time to begin the 2-on-2 battles. The first one is between Midoriya and Uraraka playing the role of the hero against Bakugou and Iida who were the villains. Before the round started, Tokoyami got closer to y/n behind everyone else.
Tokoyami: I would be lying if I said your battle wasn't spectacular.
Y/n: Oh please, you flatter me.
Dark Shadow appeared from under Tokoyami's cloak.
Dark Shadow: Yeah. But it was also pretty freaky how you healed yourself. And after taking a hit from All Might. How did you do that?
There it was—the fateful question. And still, y/n was unsure of what to do. Could she tell one of her classmates about her past? She couldn't even make up a half-truth. What was she to do? Then, out of the blue, a loud boom shook the room. The three turned to the screen to see Midoriya throw a punch toward the ceiling that was so strong, the wind rushed through the upper floor.
Y/n: 'This power. The only one with that kind of strength would have been All Might or someone else with One For All! Could it be that he is All Might's successor?!
Uraraka used the opportunity of surprise to use her Gravity on herself, making her weightless, jumping over the hole in the floor, and latching herself on the bomb, completing the round. In the end, Iida was declared the MVP of the round by All Might because he was the only one who was in character the entire time.
For the next round, it was a match between Shoji and Todoroki on Team Hero and Ojiro and Hagakure on Team Villain. Before the round started, y/n noticed Tokoyami didn't resume their conversation regarding her quirk. Did Tokoyami think y/n was being weird about it, or perhaps she was just overthinking it? Y/n it was best interest to start focusing on the classmates that are currently in combat so she can gauge their skill level and see how their quirks would be beneficial. The rounds start with Hagakure taking off her shoes and gloves in an attempt to be less visible. Meanwhile, Shoji used his Dupli-Arms to make ears and eyes at the ends of each arm to locate their enemies. Shoji turned one arm into a mouth and whispered something to Todoroki, although the feed didn't pick it up. Todoroki whispered something back, then Shoji exited the building. After Shoji did as he was told, Todoroki put a hand on a nearby wall with his right hand and froze the whole building. The freeze was so strong that everyone in the surveillance room could feel it. Though y/n has been victim to ice attacks, it didn't change the fact that the temperature made her teeth chatter.
Y/n: 'So, ice, huh? Must suck to be Hagakure right now.'
Back to the villain team, Ojiro and Hagakure were frozen in their tracks. Todoroki calmly walked up to the bomb and placed his left hand on it.
Todoroki: Don't beat yourself up about it. The gap between our skills is just too great.
And, as effortlessly as Todoroki froze the building, he made all the ice melt. After that, none of the other matches were as surprising as the first two. After all the matches concluded, All Might gave his general thoughts. He said that the class did great and besides Midoriya, there weren't any major injuries. And then, All Might turned on his heel and away, kicking up dust in his wake.
Y/n finished changing out of her hero costume and back into her school uniform after everyone else had left. Y/n was completely alone as she walked to class. Well, except for Righty but they weren't human beings. Once y/n got back to the classroom and opened the door, she was immediately bombarded by her classmates in surprise at her powers and how she fended off All Might, the number one hero, all by her lonesome. Eventually, they start asking questions about her quirk and what it is, because from what y/n's classmates saw, she could transform, control shadows, and heal wounds. Y/n thought that this would be it. This is how she reveals her past. Until a voice spoke up. It was Tokoyami!
Tokoyami: Please, come to your senses, everyone. Our classmate might still be a bit shaken from her fight. Best not to swarm her all at once.
Iida: While I respect your answer, do not sit on your desk.
With that, everyone backed away and let y/n walk past to her desk. As she did, she looked at Tokoyami and gave him a reassuring smile while Righty gave a thumbs-up. Tokoyami returned with a nod as Dark Shadow gave a thumbs-up back.
A little later, Midoriya came back to class, still in his costume but now he was bandaged up and his arm was in a sling. Behind Midoriya, Uraraka rushed to his side and began to worry about his health. Midoriya told the bubbly girl not to worry and then asked where Bakugou was. Uraraka told Midoriya that he had already left. Midoriya heard this, thanked the girl, and rushed down to the entrance of the school grounds. Some of Class 1-A, including y/n, walked to the window. What they saw was Bakugou walking to the gate just before Midoriya stopped him. With y/n's superior hearing, she could hear the two's conversation through the glass even though they were far away. But still, it was bits and pieces and y/n still had to strain her ears just to hear that. But, there was one thing Midoriya said that she was certain she heard right. Midoriya told Bakugou that the power he had was "given to him". A power given by someone else? There was only one power that y/n knew that fit that description. One For All. Y/n silently gasped. To say she was shocked that not only All Might's protege was right here, but that she had been correct in her quick judgment. Bakugou turned around to look at Midoriya, tears in his eyes, shouted some words that y/n couldn't make out, then went back to leaving the school. Out of the blue, behind Midoriya, All Might came and put a hand on Bakugou. Bakugou glared at his teacher as he released his grip. Meanwhile, in the halls of UA, the students looked in confusion. Tsuyu spoke up, breaking the silence.
Tsuyu: What was that?
Uraraka: The fated battle between rivals.
